1A.  Custom tank emblem (Maybe)   Still in planning stages
2.  ceramic pads front and rear, and flush brake fluids  Parts on site
3.  progressive front springs  Parts on site
4.  Neck bearings, and grease zirk mod  In Progress
5.  handlebar risers, grips, different mirrors  Parts on site
6.  front and rear tires, tubes, rim strips, and wheel bearings.  Parts on site

A lot of them will need to get done before I get it back out of the garage but some of them will be done later down the road, and maybe even over the winter depending on time.

I have a really nice set of risers if you want them. (chrome)
#2 should be a few mins with your skill level.

So it's time to start the "Done by Drift-In" project list.

When I got the bike last November, I noticed the neck bearings were bad.  Then this spring I noticed the thing has the dreaded Vulcan Clutch Disorder.  Then, there is also the one or two minor mods I wanted to do to make her pretty. So I got serious last week, and got started.   Plans are to get as much of this done in the next couple weeks, to get it back on the road, and get some miles in before the trip to Drift-in.  So here's my list, Ratman Style:

1  2-tone paint, some chrome fender trim, fender tip,   Part off, ready to go to painter
2.  ceramic pads front and rear, and flush brake fluids  Parts on site
3.  progressive front springs  Parts on site
4.  Neck bearings, and grease zirk mod  In Progress
5.  handlebar risers, grips, different mirrors  Parts on site
6.  front and rear tires, tubes, rim strips, and wheel bearings.  Parts on site
7.  headlight & spot light hoods, re-route/repair wiring, new headlamp bulb  In Progress
8.  clutch upgrade  waiting on parts
9.  change out the horn  Parts on site
10.  relocate rectifier In Progress
11.  change oil, flush coolant  Parts on site
12,  rubber mount exhaust  In Progress
13.  spark plugs  Parts on site
14.  drive shaft cover, and maybe a special mod  Parts on site
15.  custom tail light/turn signals   Parts on site
16.  custom brake pedal   Parts on site
17.  service rear gearbox and driveshaft  Not started yet
18.  power commander / air mods  Parts on site
19.  change windshield mount and/or windshield and/or cut down  Still looking at options
20.  fab a luggage rack   Still looking at options
21.  windshield lowers   Still looking at options

This should keep me busy for a couple weeks.
